I am buying a gun this weekend and It will be the XDM 40 for the police academy. I was looking and found a blued for 569 new or a bi-tone for 619 new. Is there any advantage to having the bi-tone. I will be putting upwards of $900 worth of ammo through it in 5 months. Will the bi-tone last longer. I'm not quite sure, what do y'all think? Pros cons etc. Also can you carry a bi-Tone gun as an officer?
Thanks!

The "blued" one will eventually wear off if using a kydex holster. My buddies XD has seen a few years of heavy use and the coating is wearing off on teh edges and corners and rust is a problem if he doesnt stay on top of it. That is why i decided i am going bitone when i get mine.

I use my government grade CLP for my weapons and have never had a rusting issue. I pull them out once a month to be cleaned and wiped down.
